UTP port and forwarded to the internal bridge which decided to transmit
them to the wireless media).
• Total Transmitted Data Frames – This counter is similar to the above
but counts only data frames. In most BreezeNET PRO.11 units, the
number of total transmitted frames and total transmitted frames (bridge)
are identical. In the case of the AP, due to the inclusion of beacon
frames, this number will be higher than that for Total transmitted frames.
• Frames Dropped (too many retries) – The number of frames which
were dropped since they were retransmitted for the maximum number of
allowed retransmissions and weren’t acknowledged.
• Total Transmitted Fragments – The total number of transmitted
frames. The count includes data, control and management frames and
also the number of retransmissions of data frames (for example, if the
same data frame is retransmitted ten times, the count will increase ten
times).
• Total Retransmitted Fragments – The total number of retransmissions
of data frames (for example, if the same data frame is retransmitted ten
times then the count will increase ten times). In a point-to-point
application, this counter should relatively correspond to the number of
bad fragments received on the other side.
• Total Tx Errors – The number of transmit errors that have occurred.
Currently this counter also includes normal situations where a fragment
has not been transmitted because the dwell time has elapsed.
• Internally Discarded – The number of frames that the AP discarded due
to a buffer overflow. Frame discard will occur mainly when the wireless
conditions are bad and the unit is busy re-transmitting frames and
doesn’t have time for handling new frames.
• Power Saving Aged – The AP buffers frames for stations in a power
saving sleep mode. This counter counts the number of frames dropped
by the AP because a station did not wake up for a long time.
• Power Saving Free Entries – Number of free buffers (one frame each)
available for power save management. These buffers hold messages for
stations that only periodically make contact with the AP due to power
considerations.
